Farm Animals

Have you ever dreamed of one day owning a farm? Well, owning some livestock can give you the same rewarding feeling. Livestock consists of animals such as cows, pigs, sheep, goats, donkeys, horses, and mules.

You should also consider what type of veterinary care your livestock will require to avoid the spread of diseases and external parasites.
